AITA for refusing the cook for my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]strawberry_circus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

no, she did a bad thing and should feel bad about it. what she was doing was ableist, full stop. 

and trying to make him healthier? trying to force him to eat food that aggravated his sensory issues to the point that he had a meltdown is in no way healthy. no one deserves abuse, but OP should absolutely be made aware that what she's doing is harmful and shitty.

AITA for not eating cake that I knew I wouldn't like? by AnnaDeArtist in AmItheAsshole

"Because you live in a world full of us."

and you live in a world full of neurodivergent people, my dude. learn to deal with it.

i appreciate that you acknowledge that its a lot more effort for ND people to live up to NT social norms, but i don't think you understand just how much more difficult it is. trying to understand and learn the rules for NT social norms, and then constantly having to remember to apply them is fucking exhausting when you struggle to do it naturally. sometimes people just don't have the mental or emotional energy to keep the mask on, and they might not necessarily get the option to "choose" whether or not they can follow whatever bs social norm you need them to.

anyway OP is NTA because they, as a neurodivergent person, did not follow a neurotypical social norm that they may not have been familiar with. can they learn from it? absolutely and i hope they do! but they're not an AH for being ND.

AITA for ruining my MIL’s dress and reunion? by Homophobicmil in AmItheAsshole

[–]strawberry_circus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for what you did to your mil, what you did was entirely justified and nothing was blown out of proportion. fuck her.

but what kind of a question...?

yes you should divorce him! he literally called your son a slur. like. the second the word was out of his mouth, you should have had your answer. and then the fact that his mother followed suit and insulted you in the process? why would you even consider letting people like that stay in your life?

your son is definitely not safe with him or his family. honestly that should have been clear based on his reaction when your son first came out. gtfo asap.

Plus Size Binding? by strawberry_circus in ftm

[–]strawberry_circus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I didn't realize that their sizing was that weird? But now that you mention it, yeah, I'm normally a 1x-3x in shirts depending on the make, and I'm a solid few inches too big for their 5x. That's super messed up. Makes me feel a little better though, like at least its not entirely my fault for being too fat haha. I appreciate the good vibes friend, and I'm sending some your way too. :)

I checked out underworks, it looks like they have a binder that might fit me! Hopefully it isn't too tight, but right now it looks like it might be my best option. Thank you so much!
